Four Years Later
velociraptors surrounding him. Suddenly a gas bomb falls from the sky. ALAN
looks up, The raptors begin coughing. He looks and sees what he thinks
is a human girl as another gas bomb falls. The velociraptors run off as does the
'girl'. A human boy comes running by to take ALAN.
LATER
ALAN and PAUL KIRBY are standing by the river. BILLY BRENNAN has
just fallen into the river. As he is about to get up two or three pteranodon's
start pecking at him.
ALAN:
Billy!
ALAN is about to swim for him but BILLY yells.
BILLY:
No!
BILLY continues to fight the pterandons as he flows down the river.
EXT. DOWN THE RIVER
A pack of velociraptors is at the end of the stream drinking the water. The
screeching of the pteranodons cause the pack to look up. Dinner time. The
pack is made up of seven. Six of them go for the kill. The seventh member...
the odd one who is not like the others stands. She doesn't usually join
in the killings but still gets her share of the food. The pack manages to kill
one of the pteranodon and the other flies away. Whatever the pterandons were
going after has came to the feet of the seventh member. She looks at it. Its
a human! A human like herself. One of the other members of the pack goes
to the body ready to bite it. The seventh member growls at the raptor to stay
away. She picks up the human, dragging him out of the water. He is
bleeding from the head, arms and a little from the neck. The dominate
female raptor who is later refereed to as 'SALLY' walks up to the seventh
member. She 'asks' her what she's doing. The Seventh member
responds with 'helping'. SALLY is a bit uneasy with the meal being help but
simply walks away from the seventh member. She growls at one of the lower
ranking raptors to help her carry the unconscience human away to the
nesting ground.
~LATER~
BILLY slowly starts to wake. He looks up and sees trees. He feels a great
pain in his head. He starts to push himself off the ground. Suddenly he finds
himself face to face with one of the bitter raptors who is referred to as 'MAX'.
BILLY backs away then bumps into the second highest raptor 'MINNIE'.
BILLY:
Oh God
Camera focuses on a pair of feet. Human feet. BILLY looks up to see the
seventh member. She is wearing a very skimpy outfit of brown clothes that
barley cover her chest and lower areas. She growls at MAX and MINNIE. The
growl back but the Seventh doesn't move an inch. MINNIE growls at MAX and
they leave. BILLY eases up a bit. SEVENTH walks closer to him in wonder.
BILLY backs up a bit.
SEVENTH:
Don't...don't b-be scared
BILLY:
You can talk?
SEVENTH:
Y-yes. I'm..I'm Lux
LUX after being on the island for eight years is in pretty good shape. She has
long brown hair, which is very tangled. Her eyes are bright green and focused
on BILLY.
LUX:
Do you have a name?
BILLY:
I'm Billy. Did, how did you get away from them?
LUX:
Max and Minnie?
BILLY:
They have names?
LUX:
I called them that before I knew how to speak their language. And I didn't
get away from them, they're my family.
BILLY:
What?
LUX:
Come...you need to be helped
LUX extends her hand and helps BILLY up
Camera closes in on LUX and BILLY. They are at a river bank. BILLY is laying
down on a log shirtless as LUX uses his shirt to tend to his wounds.
BILLY:
How long have you been here?
LUX:
Eight years I think
BILLY:
How have you survive?
LUX:
My mother put me into Sally's nest
BILLY:
Sally?
LUX:
She's the leader of the pack. Maybe I should start from the beginning
BILLY:
Yeah...
LUX:
My family's boat crashed here on the island. We went in the jungle to see if
there was life. I never saw my father again. Me and my mother were sitting on
a log and were suddenly chased by...well all I remember about it is that it had
a long snout and lots of teeth. We came across a raptor nest. She broke open
three of Sally's eggs and rubbed the dead babies over me then ran off. I
heard a scream. Soon the pack returned. Sally thought I was one of her own.
So she raised me.
BILLY:
That's...that's just unbelievable. I mean I, I didn't think that they were capable
of...of nurtering
LUX:
They are
LUX dabs water on BILLY'S wounds with his shirt. He winces a bit.
LUX:
Are you with that group of humans that were here?
BILLY:
Yeah. Only six of us made it
LUX:
Out of how many?
BILLY:
Nine.
LUX:
I'm sorry
BILLY:
You're English is amazing. I mean you've been on here for such a long time
LUX:
Thank you.
There is a few moments of silence.
LUX:
I've been waiting for someone to come here so I could be rescued.
BILLY:
Come back with me
LUX:
I can't do that, I...I have a family here
BILLY:
But you can teach us something. Teach the world something about the
raptors.
LUX:
I don't know. I need to get you off the island as soon as possible though
BILLY:
Why?
LUX:
Max will turn on you the first chance he gets. To him you're food.
BILLY:
What about the others?
LUX:
Minnie will go along with Sally. And Sally will go along with me. I'm one of her
only surviving children. The other is my 'sister' Izzy and 'brother' Zan. Lonnie is
one of the breeding females.
BILLY:
Why is the pack so small?
LUX:
They only breed every three years and of course some eggs are duds,
some eggs are stolen, and the babies are killed some wonder off. And some
times Max will eat the babies if the mothers aren't around.
BILLY:
How many breeding females?
LUX:
Lonnie, Sally and Minnie
BILLY:
Not...you?
LUX:
Of course not me. Uh I think you'll be fine...but you really need to get to a
hospital
snap!
LUX looks around. She stands.
MAN:
Billy!
LUX:
I have to go
BILLY:
No
LUX starts to run. BILLY notes she runs like a raptor.
BILLY:
Please come with me!
LUX:
I can't
LUX ducks into the woods. A helicopter begins to land near BILLY. Two men
get out with stretchers.
MEDIC #1:
Are you Billy Brennan?
BILLY:
Yeah
MEDIC #1:
Okay
MEDIC #1 and MEDIC #2 load BILLY onto a stretcher. They start to take him
to the helicopter. BILLY looks to his left and sees LUX standing by a tree. She
lifts her hand to wave at him as the helicopter
